Hunting methods
Being primarily a nocturnal animal, the best hunting time is dawn and dusk when taking to or emerging from cover to feed. The Sharpe’s Grysbuck is generally found in the hills where it is easiest to hunt when trying to clamber away over the uneven terrain and giving away its position. It is generally hunted as a trophy of opportunity but avid collectors may even dedicate a full on hunt to collect this member of the ‘Tiny Ten’. The Cape Grysbuck is much more difficult to hunt. A walk and stalk in their fynbos habitat along roads, near rivers and old agriculture fields may be your best bet to collect one of the specimens.
Why hunt Grysbuck?
This animal's name is directly translated from the Afrikaans word Grysbok means “Grey Buck”. This description is derived from the grey/white hairs scattered across its body covered with coarse hair which differentiates it from a Steenbuck. A devoted hunter wanting to shoot a Grysbuck will have to apply all their skills to shoot one of these crafty animals. Best mounted as a full mount with some habitat or a pedestal mount with other members of the ‘Tiny Ten’.
